Mississauga is looking a little brighter thanks to the opening of this massive light attraction. Illumi - A Dazzling World Of Lights by Cavalia is now welcoming guests into its dazzling dreamland, and here's a first look at the magic.

The massive attraction spans 600,000 square-feet and boasts over 20 million LED lights. The event is running until 2023, so there's lots of time to enjoy the magic. It's the largest light, sound and multimedia show in the world, and the first show of its kind to come to the Toronto area.

You'll be fully immersed in larger-than-life landscapes, and there are tons of Instagrammable moments, so have your phone ready.

You can even wander right underneath some of the installations and interact with others.

The attraction will offer special exhibits for holidays such as Christmas and Halloween. Starting in October, the first seasonal universe will open, and you can wander through a vibrant pumpkin patch filled with "3,000 fiery-eyed pumpkins."
